What 쾯 means
It has no established standalone meaning.
Is 쾯 a Korean word? It is a Hangul spelling unit: a Korean word can contain it if its spelling calls for this syllable, but the block itself has no established word meaning.
Hangul was designed to represent spoken Korean more directly than writing only in Chinese characters. The vowel ㅚ had a different sound in the fifteenth century and shifted later; that change belongs to the vowel's history, not a new meaning for 쾯.
Why does 쾯 act like one character?
It is one precomposed block with a decomposed equivalent.
How does Unicode store 쾯? Hangul syllables can be stored as one precomposed block or as conjoining jamo—the consonant and vowel letters used to build syllables. 쾯 consists of ㅋ ㅚ ㄷ.
A font shapes those parts into the visible block, and their size or placement can vary. A different outline does not change the character.
